In the latest installment of my monthly playlist series, I've found great happiness from beginning to end. I'm not sure why, but it feels like this one has more breadth than the past few have. Maybe it's just the uptick in the volume of new releases on the cusp of summer, maybe I've just been … Continue reading Frankles Monthly Mix 2018 #5: Paring

One of the worst things about losing a loved one is the steady stream of awful reminders that they are no longer in your life, that they are no longer available. Some of that comes up front, but when you're in the thick of things dealing with grief and loss, especially if it's sudden, you … Continue reading Sunday Sounds: Dirty Computer

Welcome to Barium There's so much to get excited about with this edition of my running monthly-ish playlist, I almost don't know where to start. Except that I have to start with Burns, the new song from George FitzGerald. A masterful, powerful piece of work, Burn is...just listen to it. You can read more about … Continue reading Frankles Monthly Mix #10

Tom Petty’s 'Wildflowers' has been in the back of my mind for a Sunday Sounds post since I started writing these, but I always passed it over in favor of something else and I can’t really say why.

I even wound up running out of chemicals with a suffix of -on, so I had to figure out how to end the year while staying on/around the periodic table. If you're looking for … Continue reading Frankles Monthly Mix #9 – Lithium

PHANTOGRAM "Sarah Barthel is an incredible performer, with her vicious intensity, her smile, and her amazing rock and roll hair. It was the thought about her hair that I realized I’d just joined the unofficial crush on Sarah Barthel club. When I looked around, I saw I was by no means not alone in this." -Live at … Continue reading All of the Things: Phantogram

Post Last month, I traveled over a thousand miles to an extensive series of grass fields in the middle of the California desert, maintained in large part for a game played on horseback to see as many of the 120 acts over the course of three days that my body would physically allow...doesn't Coachella sound … Continue reading Frankles Monthly Mix #4

I owe a huge amount of gratitude to Big Wild for including Adam Vida's "I'm Juiced" in one of his playlists on Spotify. Without him, I wouldn't have this strangely infectious, potently motivational track to get me through a shitty, inundated by minutia Monday morning. If you're familiar with Mr. Carmack, this kind of production … Continue reading Juiced Monday Dance Party

"One great thing about Galantis’ stage presence is that they seem to be as happy as anybody else at the show. Galantis descended upon the Mayan Theater much like they did for their Sunday show the day before at Hard Day of the Dead: by storm. Even if they’re playing the same material, they plow … Continue reading All of the Things: Galantis
